“Quick! Someone! Save the child! The child didn’t even cry or make a fuss along the way! But he’s still breathing!” Zou Ming shouted as he ran towards the doctors.
Xia Fang was still holding on to the leftover golden ginseng juice from Qiao Mei. She quickly fed it to the child. The nurses beside her looked at her in a daze, wondering if what she did was against the rules.
“This is my grandnephew! I’ll bear the responsibility if anything happens!” Xia Fang shouted as she ran towards the ICU ward with the child. She placed him carefully into the incubator and had him hooked up to the various equipment. This was where they kept premature babies or children born with congenital illnesses. Xia Fang had never expected to see her family’s child here one day.
“My little darling, you must get better. We’re all waiting for you. You must be healthy,” Xia Fang whispered. She stood at the side and wept quietly. She looked at the tiny child whose body was hooked up to all kinds of equipment and she felt as if her heart was being stabbed by needles.
She did not know if the medicinal wine would work on the child or when he would wake up, but she was sure that he was not in any mortal danger. Qiao Mei was also unconscious at the moment. She wondered who the Xia family had offended this time. Why were all these people unwilling to let Qiao Mei and her children off?
Once Xia Wen received the news, he gathered all the guard team members and headed back. He rushed to the hospital to check on Qiao Mei and to find out what was going on.
“l don’t know anything either. Qiao Mei told me that she was thirsty and she ran away while I was getting hot water. By the time I found her, she was already very weak and kept saying Tan Jings name. I couldn’t find you, so I went to look for Zou Ming,” Xia He said.
Xia Wen would not ask Qiao Mei why she knew the location of the child. The last time, it was also Qiao Mei who told them the approximate whereabouts of the other two children and that was how they successfully found Xia Fan and
Xia Xing in the end. The same thing had happened this time round. So long as Qiao Mei did not say anything, he would not ask her.
“Yes, you did the right thing. If you had waited for me, I’m afraid the child would be dead by now,” Xia Wen said self-reproachfully.
“What exactly did they do to the child!” Xia He said angrily.
“They gave him a dose of anesthesia meant for an adult. Fortunately, the child was already very healthy even before he was born and was stronger than ordinary children, so he was able to hang on for a longer period of time. Aunt said that if it was two hours later… the child would not be able to hold on anymore…” Xia Wen said through gritted teeth.
Xia He was extremely furious by now. She punched the wall and said, “It’s all my fault… If not for the fact that I’m too greedy and did not take good care of Qiao Mei because I want to go out and earn money, this might not have happened…”
“What happened was beyond anyone’s expectations. Even if you manage to keep an eye on Qiao Mei at all times, those people will come prepared and it’s impossible to guard against them. The most important thing now is to bring the perpetrators to justice, but… but I just received a call and heard that Tan Jing might be fully acquitted in the end,” Zou Ming said with a frown.
“Why? Didn’t you catch Tan Jing red-handed? Why can’t you convict her?” Xia He asked agitatedly.
“Those people took on full responsibility for the crime and even said that they were the ones who threatened Tan Jing and forced her to find them a place to stay. They say they are the perpetrators and that Tan Jing is also a victim,” Zou Ming said. The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l-B(j)n.
“Don’t you have any evidence?” Xia Wen asked.
“No, it was flawless. They planned everything right from the beginning. If the matter was exposed, they would just push all the blame to these two people. There’s nothing we can do,” Zou Ming said apologetically.
“It’s fine, you don’t have to blame yourself. Leave this matter to me. You just need to follow the proper procedures,” Xia Wen said darkly.
The Xia family, the Huang family and the Tan family must settle this score clearly. He would not let any of them off! These people must pay with their blood! Tan Jing must repay the pain that their family’s child had suffered thousands of times over!
At noon the next day, Qiao Mei regained consciousness. Qiao Qiang had found out about this incident and brought over all the golden ginseng juice he had at home. He fed Qiao Mei a lot and then asked Xia Fang to give the child a little more. The child’s vital signs had gradually returned to normal. “Where’s the child? Is the child alright?” Qiao Mei asked wearily..
